The t20 trail is identical to the t20 hyper in every respect but weight. At a touch over 2.5 kg, it is half a kilo heavier than the hyper, but makes up for this by weighing in considerably less on the pocket. Performance wise, like the t20 hyper, it is an all-out, all-year, all-weather tent and as tough as nails.

Its multi-pitch system is very versatile – the integral mode allows it to be pitched in 3 minutes or less. The choice of flysheet-first or inner-first pitching is determined by whether you just want the flysheet or inner pitched on their own respectively, and either method is necessary if you have to separate them for drying out.

About 60% of the cost of a tent is fabric, and the greatest part of this is invested in the flysheet. The t20 trail is made from a 40-denier, silicon-coated (both sides), nylon rip-stop fabric, and gives what we believe to be the best balance between cost, durability and strength, with only a small weight penalty.

The t20 trail is an affordable tent for all-round use. A classic, 2-person, tunnel design, it combines multi-pitch versatility, low-weight and long-term durability.
